Lemons to Lemonade

What a day! Have you ever noticed when everything starts to go your way and you have your whole day planned (for once in your life) something BIG is always going to throw you out of sinc?
Well today was that day.
My husband and I have no children this weekend and are planning a 10th anniversary trip. Our anniversary was during the "Crazy Week" post. I forgot to even mention it. I had just finished making a reservation for one night of our trip. I was SO excited because we had 2 days to plan this trip and I had finally found a place to stay after several plan changes due to no vacancies. We were going to the Guadalupe River to tube and go see my friends (which I haven't seen in 5 years )husbands band(The Small Stars)play at Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas. I was so proud of myself. The laundry was going to be done the house was going to be cleaned so my husband and I could sneak away a night early and get a jump start on our trip. We would wake up in Austin....

This is where our story takes a HUGE turn. I went to put the clothes in the dryer when I noticed the laundry room was flooded. I then discovered my two bathroom floors were wet, a toilet had junk in it, as well as both the bath tubs. What a mess! I frantically called the plumber. I finally found one that could make it that day. After being told they would be there in 30 or 45 minutes, (after waiting 3 hours already) 2 hrs later they showed up. In the mean time I vacuumed water off the indoor/outdoor carpet in the laundry room and bathrooms. I mention the carpet specifically because I loathe it. The idiots we bought the house from recarpeted the whole house before they put it on the market and for some reason felt carpet in the ENTIRE house was a great idea! It will be gone next week. So..... instead of getting everything ready I cleaned and THEN got everything ready. At 10am the next morning, after waiting 2 HOURS for an oil change,(couldn't go the day before b/c waiting on the plumber) and having it out with my husband, we left. We are on are way...kinda. We got 1 block from our house and the car is shaking. At this point I am thinking that we really shouldn't be going on this trip. It finally seems to get a little better so we forge ahead. When we stopped for lunch my husband leaned over and hugged me and asked, "are we going to be okay?" I laughed and said,"Yes".
We made it to our destination just fine. We got the tires rotated. Problem solved. The rest of the trip was awesome! Just what we needed!
